Any Vanquish owners out there? What are your thoughts on the reel? Looking again at the 1000s version of this reel for my Lunakia and Tict RF.
A guy I talk to some on Facebook about JDM gear is all about the Vanquish. He has lots of high end Daiwa reels too. I did buy the 500 size Shimano the other day but mostly because Daiwa doesn’t offer a JDM reel that size. I am sure likely no binding issues with any of these high end JDM Shimanos but it sure put a bad taste in my mouth.
I bought one a couple years ago, and I used it very little, i fish in the brush a lot and it just doesn't make sense to be using light line/rods. But after finding some suspended fish, I paired the vanquish with the rocking finesse, and some 2.5lb varias. What a blast. Casts are smooth and accurate, everything just feels nice. I have mostly daiwas, including the airity, and St croix panfish elites. Both have their purpose. I'm sure if I spooled the airity with similar line and rod it would feel great also, but for now I think that combo is a great match. If they weren't so damn expensive I'd like to try the high speed version.
Any intel on when the Vanquish will be refreshed?

We are only talking crappie here I think. Doesn't take an expensive reel to bring one in. Found a rod I liked that came as a package, Shakespere rod and reel. Reel was alright but wanted the rod for another reel. Then I had a reel with no rod again so had an excuse to buy another rod! Strange how that works. The rod and reel together was something like $20 or maybe $25, didn't break the bank! But inexpensive as it was, it works well, both the inexpensive rod and reel! If I get a few years out of it I figure it was well worth the money!
Don’t matter if you talking crappie…bluegill…trout, any fish. We all know you don’t need a Japanese made reel to catch fish. But this is a thread about reels sold in the Japanese Domestic Market. I tell folks all the time on my channel you don’t need this gear to catch fish…but for those that want to purchase this gear it’s nice to have a resource to go to for one to find info on them.

Watch out for that rabbit hole it's VERY deep. Randy sent me down it about 3 years ago . Just ordered my 9th rod I think, the new 7'3" slow taper special with the 2022 exist. Life is good as my friend say's and getting better. Scott
